24. Jealousy
"Your mother is dead, don't act like this, Adrian. An Alpha doesn't curl up crying like an Omega."
"My mother won't die if you don't bring that woman to this house."
"Don't dare to be brazen, pay attention to the way you talk to your dad."
Adrian can't just forget how the past in his life never went the way he wanted, what Garvin said is true that money can't always buy what he hopes to exist.
With no amount of money, Adrian would not be able to bring his mother back from the dead. Bringing his mother back to embrace him at a time like this, who cares what he feels and how devastated he is, his mother is not by Adrian's side to understand that. People see it as a hard shell, but the hard shell must have a purpose to protect the soft and weak inside. There were times when he thought that his mother was a selfish person, leaving without taking Adrian to follow him. Leave him to a cruel world.
